ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed for washing, sanitizing and drying stacks of flats used for carrying various items, particularly eggs. The apparatus includes a dual station defining dual processing chambers. Since the flats are washed while in stacks, the capacity for this apparatus and method is quite high. Also one or several stacks of flats is constantly being processed within one of the two processing chambers while the other processing chamber is being set up for the next step. A stack of flats is initially placed within the first processing chamber and is then flooded with cleaning solution. The stack of flats is rotationally moved for cleaning. During this washing operation another stack of dirty flats is placed within the second processing station. When the washing within the first processing station is completed, the cleaning solution therein is pumped into the second processing station. Then the second processing station initiates the washing rotational movement and the first processing station has rinsing solution and then sanitizing solution sprayed upon the stack of flats. Then a high speed rotational dry is performed within the first processing station and the flats are removed. The first processing station is then ready to receive the next stack of flats to be cleaned. Once the washing is completed in the second processing station the washing solution is pumped therefrom into the first processing station for washing therein. At that time, the rinsing, sanitizing and drying step is performed within the second processing station.
